Everyday Vitamins for Women

While certain nutritional needs can change, some nutrients remain particularly important throughout a woman's life. By eating well, women can get much of what they need, such as protein and fiber, but many can benefit from taking supplements to ensure they get enough of certain essential vitamins and minerals that the diet doesn't always provide in sufficient amounts, such as calcium, vitamin D, and zinc.

A happy family

For starters, it's a good idea for every woman to take a daily multivitamin to get a family of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C (200 to 1,000 mg per day) and the B-complex vitamins. The B vitamins that are part of this complex are thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin or niacinamide (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin, folic acid, and cobalamin (vitamin B12). Most multivitamins will also contain beneficial zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin E for healthy skin and immune function, and to protect against a wide variety of diseases.

The strength is in the bones

A woman's bones need extra care to help preserve bone mass and avoid possible osteoporosis later in life. Body After Baby author and nutrition expert Jackie Keller says "Women need calcium at all stages of life, and we generally don't get enough in our diets through food sources." Look for a calcium supplement that, combined with diet and what you might get in a multivitamin, gives you around 1,000 mg per day, 1,200 if you're over 51. To further protect bones, doctors also recommend supplementing with 400 to 800 IU of vitamin D per day when taking calcium.

Fatty is good

Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential for the body's health. For women, they may protect against a wide range of conditions, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and depression. Food sources include cold-water fish, walnuts, flaxseeds, and canola oil. Common supplement forms of omega-3s are fish oil capsules (1,000 to 4,000 mg per day) and ground flaxseed (1 tablespoon [15 ml] one or two times a day). You can easily grind your own flaxseeds in a small coffee bean grinder to guarantee freshness.

Freelance writer Terra Wellington makes sure she gets her omega-3s by adding ground organic flaxseed to her cereal every morning.

Started taking this because it didn't have the iron (which makes me nauseous) that most multi's have... so I was willing to pay a little more. With in 2 hours of taking I was extremely gassy! I kept up with them over the weekend and the problem only got worse. I've been off these pills for two days and am only now starting to feel relief. Organic is my next try...

I've tried a lot of different vitamins in the past and this one is the only vitamin that I've ever tried that makes me feel like it is actually making a difference. I feel great when I take these, and I definitely notice when I forget to take them, because I feel like I'm dragging all day. On the downside, these vitamins smell and taste awful, it is a little tough to get them down some mornings. They also make me have almost neon yellow urine(kind of gross). But I will deal with the disgusting taste and smell, and the neon pee to feel like a million bucks everyday!
